Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 208: Marriage Proposal (1)
When he was complaining here, Xianglai had sent people back to Ningfangyuan to make tea and serve Luo Jinxing and Lianxiu.

Luo Jinxing had never met Lian Xiu Liangmian since he was a child, so he had nothing to say to him, so he looked at Xianglai's house and said: "The patriarch Lian is really blessed, he has such a good daughter, and he doesn't even need the patriarch for things like building an embroidery building." Don’t worry, I’ll cover it myself.”

Sitting there, Lian Xiu rolled his eyes slightly, and thought to himself, is this a compliment or a sarcasm, have you ever heard of a daughter who built her own embroidery building.

But even though she thought this way, she couldn't say it like this, so she had to echo her voice: "Uh... yes, Xianglai has always been capable. If she hadn't made a name for herself outside, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find her."

Luo Jinxing said: "Yes, I have heard of Miss Lian a long time ago. A few years ago, when I passed through Songning County, I heard that there was a rice planting woman who was a capable person. After I came back, I told my father about it. I didn't expect her It's really surprising that it's Lian Shichang's daughter living abroad!"

Lian Xiu secretly said, don't say you were surprised, I was even more surprised. Back then, Yang Mengwan got a dead baby to lie to me, so I never dreamed that there was still a daughter alive.

Thinking about it, he replied: "Yes, yes, it was really unexpected."

Luo Jinxing saw that he was like an answering bug, and his words were meaningless, so he turned his head and talked to Xianglai again, and said, "Miss Lian, your house seems to be built very fast. How long?"

Xianglai also smiled reservedly, and said: "If you come back to your son, it's true that the daughters of the people have not been in the king's capital for long, but as soon as they returned to the mansion, they started to build this house. It was demolished a few years ago. This year, Chun Nuan started construction immediately. They have done their best, and it was built in more than three months, and the women are still worried, whether the house built in such a hurry is safe or not."

Hearing this, Luo Jinxing got up and walked around the courtyard to watch, Lian Xiu and others hurriedly stood up to accompany him, walking behind him carefully.

Looking at Lian Xiu's respectful appearance, Xiang Lai secretly smiled in her heart, thinking that this old fox can really pretend, when he was with Lian Chongxue, he somehow planned and acted cautiously behind his back, but now he pretended to be sincere and fearful...

After looking around for a few times, Luo Jinxing nodded like an expert and said, "The joints between the mortise and tenon joints are tight, the lacquer decoration is even, and the carving is fine. There is no sloppiness at all. It seems that the craftsman that Miss San found is really good."

Xianglai said: "Xianglai is really happy to be praised by the son of Jinkou."

Luo Jinxing walked a few more steps in front of the house, raised his head to look over the threshold, and said, "Why doesn't Miss Lian's house have a name?"

Xianglai said: "It has just been built, and I haven't had time to pick it up yet."

Luo Jinxing said: "If Miss doesn't dislike it, how about I get one for you?"

Xianglai glared at him from a position where Lianxiu and others couldn't see, and it was the first time in his heart that he realized that this guy was still so good at pretending, but he said with a smile on his mouth: "That's really troublesome to the prince. The name, the house of the folk girl is full of glory!"

Luo Jinxing turned his back to Lian Xiu and the others and smiled secretly, saying: "Well...Miss Lian's boudoir name is Xianglai, why not call this house Laixiangju?"

Xianglai thought: You might as well just write my name on it.

But knowing that Luo Jinxing was helping him, he had no choice but to say: "My son's idea is quite new, so let's call it Laixiangju. I'll ask someone to make a plaque and hang it up tomorrow."

Lian Xiu and Lian Ke followed behind tensely and were exhausted. Seeing Luo Jinxing and Xianglai studying the house endlessly, they thought about it and came over and said: "My lord, the daughter of Cao Min is engaged to the third prince, and a wedding banquet is specially held at home. , if the prince doesn't dislike it, how about going for a glass of water and wine?"

Then Luo Jinxing pretended to be stunned and said: "Oh, yes, I heard from my father yesterday that he decreed to marry the third brother and Miss Xiangjin. I still wanted to congratulate the third brother, but I didn't want to rush The wedding banquet in Shanggui's mansion is the wedding wine, there is no reason not to drink it, let's go, where is the wedding banquet? The Patriarch Lian will take me there."

Lian Xiudao: "It's also in the back house, my son, please come with me."

Speaking of leading the way, Luo Jinxing and Xianglai walked behind, and Lian Ke and the others had no choice but to follow behind them.

On the way to the main house, Lian Xiu sent someone to tell Mrs. Zhu to open the banquet. When they arrived at the living room of the main house, the food and drink had already been set up. Mrs. Zhu, Yang Mengwan and the rest of the family were standing in the courtyard Waiting, seeing a few people coming, he hurriedly dodged to both sides, letting Lian Xiu lead Luo Jinxing into the hall first.

Lian Xiushen was the head of the family, and he sat on the first seat with Luo Jinxing. The others, regardless of gender, were arranged on both sides of the house.

When there are more people, there will be more topics, and it will no longer be as embarrassing as before.

While everyone was talking and laughing, a servant ran into the hall and came to Lian Xiu, hesitating to speak.

Seeing this, Lian Xiu asked, "What happened, tell me quickly."

The servant looked at Luo Jinxing, and said to Lian Xiu in a low voice: "Go back to the master, a matchmaker is here, and he is waiting in the front mansion now."

"Matchmaker?" Lian Xiu guessed that the matchmaker from Zuo Xiaoling's family had come, and sat there muttering, "Really, why did you come at this time..."

He didn't know, but Lian Xiangjin, who was sitting next to Xianglai, knew it all too well. He was secretly glad that his man was able to do things well, and he found a matchmaker so quickly. If the prince knew that Lian Xianglai was only worthy of being a successor Goodness, you will never want to see her again in this life, will you?
Her secret pride couldn't hide from Xianglai, feeling the inexplicable excitement emanating from her body, Xianglai secretly hooked her mouth quietly, even Xiangjin's vigor to secretly engage in evil ways really seemed to her. Her aunt Lian Chongxue.

Most of the matchmakers' visits are handled by the mother in charge. Lian Xiu sat there wondering for a while and then said to Zhu: "Since you are here, go and have a look. You can decide what to do."

Mrs. Zhu got up and said, "Yes, master... my son, the woman is rude, so I will leave for the time being." Then he was about to go out.

But Luo Jinxing said: "Wait a minute, may I ask, who is the matchmaker from your mansion for?"

Lian Xiu glanced at Xianglai, and pondered, "Uh...this one should be for the little girl Xianglai."

As soon as he finished speaking, the servant who reported it also answered: "Yes, sir, the two matchmakers both said that they proposed marriage for Miss San."

Lian Xiu and Zhu's family, including Lian Xiangjin, who was the one who started it, were taken aback for a moment. Even though Xianglai didn't know how many people proposed marriage to her, they knew very well that no two should come at the same time.

When they were in a daze, Luo Jinxing asked the servant again: "There are actually two, where are they from?"

The servant looked at Lian Xiu, but he didn't see any obvious intention to stop him, so he turned his gaze back and replied, "My son, one is the home of Zuo Xiaoling, the master who took away the third lady Geng's post the day before yesterday, and the other is said to be from the Korean embassy. , it seems that the second prince of Goryeo wants to propose to the lady."
